The Palmetto Bank Reports Fourth Quarter Net Income of $3.3 Million

Net Income of $9.4 Million for the Year Ended December 31, 2014

 

Greenville, S.C.Palmetto Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLMT) (the “Company”) reported fourth quarter 2014 net income of $3.3 million ($0.26 per diluted common share) compared to $2.0 million ($0.15 per diluted common share) for the third quarter 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $9.4 million ($0.73 per diluted common share) compared to net income of $27.7 million ($2.17 per diluted common share) for the year ended December 31, 2013. Results for 2013 include a non-cash income tax benefit resulting from the reversal of substantially all of the valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax asset. Income before provision (benefit) for income taxes was $14.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share payable on February 16, 2015 to shareholders of record on February 2, 2015.

 

“Our financial results for the fourth quarter reflect a strong finish as we ended the year with two consecutive quarters of loan growth,” said Samuel L. Erwin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with the increase in our loan production during the second half of the year and the strength of our loan pipeline as we begin 2015. Our objective was to start 2015 with a higher level of earning assets to ensure we earn a full year of higher income in 2015.”

 

Highlights for the fourth quarter 2014 are summarized as follows:

Net income was $3.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million from the third quarter. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in the negative provision for loan losses from $500 thousand in the third quarter to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter, and a decline of $1.0 million in noninterest expense quarter over quarter.

Net interest income declined $85 thousand from the third quarter. Net interest margin declined 7 basis points from the third quarter to 3.70% as increases in average loans of $18.9 million and higher loan fees were more than offset by lower investment securities yields and the reversal of accrued interest on nonaccrual loans. Excluding the reversal of accrued interest, the net interest margin would have declined 1 basis point to 3.76%.

The provision for loan losses was negative $1.8 million compared to negative $500 thousand in the third quarter. The negative provision in both quarters reflects continued improvement in the risk profile of the loan portfolio and low charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses coverage ratio declined to 1.60%, also reflecting continued positive trends in credit quality.

Noninterest income decreased $134 thousand primarily due to a decline in nonsufficient funds (NSF) fees and lower Trust and Brokerage income.

Non-credit related expenses decreased $456 thousand from the third quarter primarily due to lower incentive plan accruals, reduced headcount and lower FDIC deposit insurance assessments. In addition, the third quarter included nonrecurring writedowns of $253 thousand on vacant bank properties being marketed for sale.

Credit-related expenses, which are defined as foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses and loan workout expenses, declined $540 thousand from the third quarter. Results for the fourth quarter included gains of $290 thousand on the individual sale of five lots in a single real estate development, while the third quarter included writedowns of $337 thousand on the bulk sale of all of the Company’s 16 lots in one particular community in this development.

Total period-end loans held for investment increased $28.1 million (3.6%) from the third quarter and are up $37.5 million (4.9%) since December 31, 2013. The increase during the quarter reflects an increase in commercial and consumer organic loan originations, a continuation of our strategy to retain a larger portion of mortgage and Small Business Administration (SBA) loan production in the held for investment loan portfolio, a $5.0 million purchased commercial loan participation, and the purchase of $22.1 million of indirect auto loans to supplement organic loan originations.

 

 
 

 

 



Nonperforming assets decreased $2.8 million from the third quarter reflecting ongoing payments and dispositions of problem loans and foreclosed assets.

 

The discussion of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition below is supplemented by the accompanying financial tables.

 

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $85 thousand and the net interest margin decreased 7 basis points to 3.70% in the fourth quarter 2014. The declines are primarily due to lower yields on investment securities and the reversal of accrued interest on nonaccrual loans. During the fourth quarter 2014, net interest income and net interest margin benefited from an increase in average loans of $18.9 million and higher loan fees. Absent the reversal of accrued interest, net interest income would have increased $62 thousand while the net interest margin would have only declined 1 basis point.

The overall yield on the loan portfolio continued to decline as higher-yielding loans matured and were replaced with new loan originations and purchases at lower rates in the current low interest rate and competitive banking environment.

The overall cost of funds was unchanged and remained at 0.05% during the fourth quarter 2014, reflecting the Company’s strong core deposit franchise. Core deposits, defined as total deposits less time deposits over $100 thousand, represent 93% of total deposits at December 31, 2014.

The Federal Reserve continues to maintain short term interest rates near historically low levels. The sustained level of low interest rates, in addition to increasing competition for credit-worthy borrowers in the Company’s markets, has an overall negative impact on earning asset yields and makes improvement in our net interest income and margin challenging.

 

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $134 thousand from the third quarter, primarily due to the following:

NSF income declined $86 thousand as a result of a seasonal decline in transaction volumes.

Fees for trust and investment management and brokerage services declined $39 thousand due to a change in the mix and lower amount of assets under management.

The Company implemented revenue enhancement initiatives, including the introduction of new and enhanced products, in the third quarter 2014 which continued to positively impact noninterest income during the fourth quarter 2014 primarily through higher service charges on deposits accounts and debit card and automatic teller machine income. These initiatives are expected to result in additional incremental revenues in 2015.

 

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense decreased $1.0 million during the fourth quarter 2014, primarily due to the following:

Salaries and personnel expense declined $409 thousand due to lower incentive plan accruals and headcount during the quarter.

FDIC deposit insurance assessments declined $272 thousand as a result of improvement in the risk tier of the Company’s banking subsidiary.

Foreclosed real estate writedowns and expenses and loan workout expenses declined $540 thousand from the third quarter 2014. Results for the fourth quarter 2014 included gains of $290 thousand on the individual sale of five lots in a single real estate development while the third quarter 2014 included writedowns of $337 thousand on the bulk sale of all of the Company’s 16 lots in one particular community in this development.

During the third quarter 2014, the Company recorded a non-recurring writedown of $253 thousand to reflect a reduction in the estimated fair values of vacant land and a branch facility that are being marketed for sale.

 

 
 

 

 



During the fourth quarter 2014, the Company continued its focus on strategic efficiency to address net interest margin challenges, revenue pressures on fee income and increased regulatory compliance costs. Fourth quarter results included the benefits of various process improvement projects implemented during 2014 such as transition to part-time staffing in the branches, direct recruiting in lieu of paying staffing agencies, consolidation of telephone providers and renegotiation of equipment maintenance contracts. The process improvement projects are expected to result in additional incremental reductions in noninterest expenses in 2015.

 

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets decreased $2.8 million from the third quarter 2014 to $18.4 million at December 31, 2014 as a result of continued problem asset resolutions.

Net charge-offs were $646 thousand (0.33% of average loans, annualized) during the fourth quarter 2014 compared to net recoveries of $270 thousand during the third quarter 2014. Net recoveries in the third quarter 2014 included an $833 thousand recovery on one borrower relationship previously charged-off. Excluding the impact of this recovery, net charge-offs in the third quarter 2014 were $563 thousand (0.30% of average loans, annualized).

Past due loans were 0.51% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 compared to 0.47% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2014 and have remained below 1.00% for eight consecutive quarters.

The allowance for loan losses was reduced in both the third and fourth quarters 2014 given the continued overall improvement in credit quality and reduced risk profile of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 1.60% at December 31, 2014 compared to 1.98% at September 30, 2014. Absent unexpected negative trends in credit quality, the Company expects its allowance for loan losses coverage ratio to be further reduced in 2015.

 

Balance Sheet and Capital

Total assets increased $21.6 million from September 30, 2014 to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2014 primarily due to organic and purchased loan growth.

During the fourth quarter 2014, gross loans increased $28.1 million reflecting organic growth in commercial and consumer loans, a strategic decision to retain a larger portion of mortgage and SBA loan production in the loan portfolio, a $5.0 million purchased commercial loan participation, and the purchase of $22.1 million of indirect auto loans from another financial institution. The retention of mortgage and SBA loan production and the loan purchases were a continuation of the Company’s strategy begun in third quarter 2014 to supplement organic loan growth to start 2015 with a higher level of earning assets. In January 2015, the Company also purchased a $12.3 million portfolio of residential mortgage loans. To the extent organic loan growth slows or unscheduled payoffs exceed organic loan growth, the Company may consider additional loan pool purchases in the future.

Loan origination volume increased during the fourth quarter 2014, including construction and development loans for which funding is expected in 2015. While the overall economic environment remains challenging and the level of competition for lending relationships is high, the Company finished 2014 with a strong loan pipeline and anticipates continued loan growth in the first quarter 2015.

Investment securities available for sale decreased $3.1 million during the fourth quarter 2014 to $211.5 million as principal paydowns and maturities were redeployed into higher-yielding loans. At December 31, 2014, an after-tax net unrealized loss on the investment securities portfolio of $820 thousand was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, compared to $1.5 million at September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2014, the estimated percentage decrease in fair value resulting from an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates was 3.95%.

Non-maturity deposits decreased $3.5 million while time deposits decreased $4.5 million. The reduction in non-maturity deposits is primarily related to an elevated level of funds in a client account on September 30, 2014 that were temporarily held at the Company pending investment during the fourth quarter 2014. Core deposits as a percentage of total deposits remained at 93% and continue to support the Company’s low-cost deposit franchise.

The Company remains focused on executing specific strategies to grow core deposits through increasing balances in existing accounts as well as through growth in the number of new households. These strategies include proactively retaining clients, attracting new clients including in markets with local bank disruption, utilizing teammates with specialized deposit product knowledge, providing rewards programs for referrals and use of debit cards, and enhancing existing deposit products. Growth in deposits is expected to be used primarily to fund future loan growth.

 

 
 

 

 



To fund loan growth during the fourth quarter 2014, at December 31, 2014 the Company had $35 million of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) that matured in January 2015. These borrowings were rolled into new borrowings from the FHLB that mature later in 2015.

The Company’s banking subsidiary, The Palmetto Bank, met all regulatory required minimum capital ratios and continued to be categorized as “well-capitalized” at December 31, 2014.

In January 2015, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per common share payable on February 16, 2015 to shareholders of record on February 2, 2015.

 

“We are pleased to report higher quarterly earnings in the fourth quarter, and the resulting increase in the amount of our quarterly dividend to shareholders,” continued Erwin. “In 2015, we are continuing our strategy to generate growth in quality earning assets, increase deposits through growth in households, and realize the ongoing benefits from our revenue enhancement and expense reduction initiatives implemented during 2014. We expect the combination of these strategies to result in continued improvement in our earnings over the course of 2015.”
